8. YOGSCAST Lewis & Simon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UdEFmxRmNE Formerly known as BlueXephos, YOGSCAST is another gaming channel that specialises in Minecraft as well as multiplayer games, indie games, mods and general hilarity. Lewis and Simon are best friends who enjoy the best of gaming together with frequently hilarious banter and mutual mockery. The pair have become incredibly popular simply due to the fact that they're incredibly engaging to listen to. While they're knowledgeable about the games they play (especially when it comes to Minecraft) and they're reasonably skilled gamers overall, it's the conversations between them that gets being people coming back again and again. They also happen to run the very successful YOGSCAST network which engages multiple YouTube channels all with the same style and ethos into a coherent brand, in the same vein as Machinima's network, encouraging new talent and helping them gain exposure in the very competitive YouTube ecosystem.
